Letters Patent No. 112,013, dated February 21, 1871.

IMPOVEMENT IN DETACHABLE MAGAZINES FOR COOKING-STOVES AND RANGS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent making put of the san-x0.

To all whom it may concern struction ot' and, consequently, the expense of manu.

facturing the said magazines.

A further object oi' luy/invention is to prevent the. escape of noxious gases from the stove int-o the roo'm.

ln order to enable others skilled the. art -to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe the manner of constructing and applying the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specilication, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of my detachable feeder or magazine for cooking-stoves or ranges, and

Figure 2, an exterior view ol' the same.

A portion of an ordinary cooking-stove is shown in section by dotted lines in tig. 1

A being part ofthe top plate;

B, the lire-place; and

G,.the line for the passage of the products of combustion beneath the top plate.

In cooking-stovesand ranges it is important that the fuel should remain ignited during the night, so that it may be quickly made available for cooking purposes-in the morning.

In orde! to afford a suicient supply ol' coal to maintaiirthe firein stoves of small capacity, detachable magazines litting the openings in the stove-plates are used.

In my improvement the magazine consists of a cylindrical body, D, of sheet metal, riveted at the top to Va cast-metal ring, c, and at the bottom to a cast-metal ring, ll.

The lower ring dis adapted to the boiler-hole of the stove or range, and projects a short dista-nce through the same.

The upper ringe is recessed for the reception of' the cover F, which is also arranged to tit the boiler-hole of the stove.

On retiring for the night, or when the use of the stove or'range has to be discontinued `for some time, the above-described magazine is titted to one ot' the two usual boiler-holes" above the lire-place, filled with fuel, and the cover F adjusted to its place on the'to'p ot' the magazine.

No preliminary manipulation of the lire or replenishing. the same with vfuel is required preparatory to the above-described adjustment ot' the magazine, the limited supply ot' fuel in which will serve to maintain the proper ignition, which is contiued, or nearly so, to the limits ofthe magazine, instead of being allowed to pervade the entire mass ot fuel, which would be the casein the absence ot' the magazine.

When the stove or range has to be again used for cooking all that is necessary is to rake the fire from below, and/then elevate the magazine by means of asuitable handle, G, and place it'on one side for l'uture use.

Whatever fuel ma remain nnconsumed in the magazine will be left behind in the tire-place, where, with other fuel therein, it is soon reduced to a proper state of ignition for cooking purposes.

G' Zaini..

The magazine, composed of the sheet-iron bo'dy, the cast-iron ring E, arranged for the reception of the cover F, and the cast-iron ring d for fitting a boilerhole of the stove, all substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
